Choose From Several Appetizing Dishes OF Filipino Recipes.

This weekend's Formula 1 Grand Prix took place in Mexico but was declared by my fiancé to be "boring" because Louis Hamilton has already won the overall championship. I was hoping our Mexican dinner would be a little more exciting but in fact it also turned out to be rather bland. Though that may have been my overcaution with the chilli!

I've had a Mexican recipe book called, um, Mexican Recipes, for many years (it came from Woolworths so that gives you a clue). I haven't made much from it but am getting bolder now with food, particularly after a trip to Mexico earlier this year. I chose a recipe called Green Chilli Chicken Chilaquiles as something that my fussy fiancé might enjoy. I adapted the recipe a bit so here's what I did.

You can either bake tortilla strips until they are crispy or use ready-made nachos, which is what I did.

To serve 2, you need:
salsa cruda - see below
3 large handfuls nachos
2 chicken breasts
1 tbsp. fresh coriander
1 tsp chopped dried oregano
1 clove garlic, crushed
200ml chicken stock
150g Cheddar, grated plus more to sprinkle over the top (which I forgot to add at the last minute!)
sour cream to serve; I also served this with a few potato wedges and some green veg (broccoli)
